Rentiér finds meaning in a vintage classic and turns it modern with their take on Ventura Highway, the classic Americana rock hit from the band America. The artist reveals that the song was a bit of personal refuge during the loneliest parts of Covid lockdown. The new version both honors that sanctity while dressing it in modern sounds fits for a young unfamiliar audience. We didn’t think we would like it as much as we do. It’s truly wonderful

Mesadorm takes on modern pressures and spins out a banger with their recent single Come On, Baby. Specifically targeting familial pressures to procreate in shared our twisted reality, the composer injects ironic bliss presented with relatable angst. In that way they find the middle ground between Regina Spektor and Cate Lebon. Its quirky fun.

Kama Tala gets crazy catchy on their new single S7ep. Full of refreshing early punk inspired jest and jive with a dancey construcy, the new single is guaranteed to connect with fans of LCD Soundsystem. We also hear an inspiration of Tame Impala in the arrangements sonic nature.

Unknown Venus features The Sleepovers on their new single W3T Dr3ams and the result is a yearning oddly erotic duet full of parallel chemistry. The two sides wade and whisk in fits of unrequited desire as imaginations run wild on this inspired freak folk gem. Stylistically we think it will connect with fans of Alex G or Big Thief. We love that creative touch.
